is it just me but do you feel so empty that it seems nothing can help. I’m not patient for my medication to work (Zoloft) I shouldn’t count the days but I just want to feel like me again. I pray that this works. Best to all.

I hope the medication works for you. If it doesn't remember you can try other meds too. The doctor will probably help you through that process.

I am 46 on Prozac it has bedn a nightmare on meds for me. I feel alone not myself I ca t get out of bed my life is falling apart. I was full of life before.

I've been on benzos for almost 20 years due to being diagnosed with MS at age 16. I've been on pretty much all of them. Currently on clonazepam 1mg 4Xs/day. In October I switched from 10mg Valium 3Xs daily. Cuz I felt it wasn't strong enough. 4mg of clonazepam is equivalent to 80mg of Valium (According to the Ashton manual). Which is very accurate at benzo equivalency. I not only take the benzos for seizure anaphylaxis but also suffer from debilitating anxiety and panic disorder. The clonazepam works but it doesn't effect me like it did years ago. I'm afraid in 5-10 years there will be nothing that'll work for me. The seizures are under control but I'm concerned my panic disorder will not be able to be effectively controlled. Cuz I'll be so tolerant to benzos that they won't work the way I need them too. I'm just excessively worrying about it that it's causing my anxiety to get bad (which should be controlled on the amount of clonazepam I'm on). Don't know what to do or if I should even bring it up to my doctor.

Not what you're looking for?
